Sanjana Sanghi makes her full-fledged debut with Dil Bechara, a film that assumes a different significance after Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise.

The first and the most important one among them was the film Rockstar. Sanjana had played the role of Nagris Fakhri’s younger sister in the movie. The link between her actual debut and debut as a lead has been AR Rahman, who composed music for both the films.

As the actor announced the launch of Dil Bechara album, she recalled her journey of 10 years in the film industry. Sanjana shared that she was just 13, when casting director Mukesh Chhabra spotted her at her school play in Delhi. She was asked to audition and she was cast as Mandy in the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer.

She shared how ‘many magical things’ took place during Rockstar, but one of the biggest was for her was ‘AR Rahman’s Sir’s music.’ She stated that she wouldn’t have even dreamt at that time that she'd be starring in a film that’d be directed by Mukesh Chhabra, have music by AR Rahman, and which will be an adaptation of her ‘favourite novel’ The Fault in Our Stars.

Sanjana conveyed her gratitude to the Mozart of Madras and termed it as an ‘eternal blessing’, and ‘absolute honor.’ She also wrote that she had ‘pinched’ herself a ‘million times’ since performing to Rahman’s songs almost two years ago, but yet it ‘doesn’t sink in’ for her.

At age 13, Mukesh found me performing on stage in my school in Delhi, asked me to ‘audition’ then & there itself, and went on to cast me as “Mandy” in Rockstar. Many magical things happened during Rockstar, but one of the biggest was AR Rahman’s Sir’s music. If you’d have told me 10 years later he’d bless my debut film as a lead actor Dil Bechara, which will be based on my favourite novel The Fault in Our Stars - with HIS music on our album and background score AND Mukesh directing me? That would not even be a dream I’d have ever dared to dream. Thank you @arrahman sir, for this eternal blessing, this is an absolute honor. I’ve pinched myself a million times since I first performed to your tunes almost two years ago, yet it just doesn’t sink in. Here’s my greatest honor in presenting to you all, the FULL music album of Dil Bechara!
